DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The sixth to eighth centuries saw a flowering of written laws of and for the early Germanic tribes. Central to all these collocations are tables of fines for personal injury. As we have few other written texts from these territories in the early medieval period, and none which deal specifically with anatomy, physiology or medicine, these tariffs provide our only insight into what early medieval peoples knew about the body and how they interpreted that knowledge.The Germanic tariff have been virtually unaddressed in the scholarly iterature. A thorough study will be invaluable for our understanding for early medieval Europe in terms of anatomical and medical knowledge, societal custom, and the dissemination of legal practice. Furthermore, this monograph applies the Comparative Method, originally developed for the field of historical linguisitics to create a taxonomy for the study of anatomical knowledge in early Europe. Never before has historical legal study focused on comparison of physiological function and the importance that society places on individual body parts for cultural or military function. This investigation not only expands our base of knowledge, but also demonstrates the vast range of data that linguistic methodology is capable of elucidating. The study thus breaks new ground in the realms both of factual knowledge and of the extension of theory first developed for the field of historical linguistics. This research will provide a study of the understanding of medicine and anatomy in early medieval Europe as demonstrated by the personal injury tariffs in early Germanic law.The book will broadly address crossdisciplinary issues relevant to medical, legal, social and literary historians, historians of language and linguistics, lawyers focusing on medical fields, insurance adjusters and advocates for the benefits of the disabled.

描述（由申请人提供）： 第六到八世纪的书面法律和早期日耳曼部落的书面法律开花。所有这些搭配的中心是人身伤害的罚款表。由于我们在中世纪初期有几乎没有这些领土的其他书面文本，而且没有专门涉及解剖学，生理学或医学的书面文本，这些关税提供了我们唯一的见解，即早期中世纪人民对身体的了解以及他们如何解释这些知识。日耳曼的关税在学术迭代中实际上未得到认可。从解剖学和医学知识，社会习俗以及法律实践传播方面，我们对中世纪早期欧洲的理解将是无价的。此外，该专着采用了比较方法，该方法最初是为历史语言学领域开发的，以创建用于研究欧洲早期解剖学知识的分类法。历史法律研究从未关注生理功能的比较以及社会对各个身体部位对文化或军事功能的重要性。这项调查不仅扩大了我们的知识基础，而且还展示了语言方法论能够阐明的大量数据。因此，这项研究在事实知识和理论的扩展中都打破了新的基础，该研究首先是为历史语言学领域开发的。 这项研究将提供一项研究中世纪早期对医学和解剖结构的理解，如早期日耳曼法律中的人身伤害关税所证明。该书将广泛解决与医学，法律，法律，社会和文学史学家，语言和语言学的历史学家，专注于医疗领域的律师，保险领域，保险公司和倡导者的跨学科问题。
